PROJECT INDIGO
© AARNet Pty Ltd |
AARNet, Google, Indosat, Singtel, SubPartners, and Telstra
Two pair fibre system Singapore – Sydney via Perth – 9,000 km
Ready for Service (RFS) Q1 2019
Minimum capacity 18Tbps per fibre
This is the FIRST subsea project where a National Research and Education Network (NREN) has been a consortium partner
This is one of the first subsea projects to make available portionsof the fibre (spectrum or frequencies) to investors
This investment involves no Federal government funding, eitherfor the initial investment or for the operational support
The contracted life of this system is multiple decades

IMPACT
© AARNet Pty Ltd |
Terrestrially, access to fibre underpins AARNet’s ability to provide differentiated price/performance
Indigo provides this for international sub-sea broadband capacity
Increases in capacity facilitated by upgrading optical transmission equipment
Provides overall greater flexibility, low latency, increased redundancy for international traffic
Addresses network diversity challenges for between Perth and East coast
